tri-annual update
I feel i should update, more because i'm bored, but because i really should just utilize this journal for what it's worth instead of just reading everyone elses.
Well, since the last update, I have become the Iowa Collegiate Music Educators National Conference President...long title, great resume builder. I haven't done much with it yet, but i have gone further than all of the other presidents before. Once school winds down for everyone, i'll dive more into it.
Speaking about school, it's going well. Not too much has been going on. I'm conducting a piece in band, i really don't like it, it's just too short for my taste, but oh well, it's expierence. It won't be too difficult for band in this next concert.
About our last concert, it went horrible. Wow, i really wish we would get some new oboes, or at least let me play, because i'll practice my part. They butchered their solo in the Mahr piece...yes, the piece that the COMPOSER conducted, hmm, at least he was nice to us. And at the composition masterclass, he really liked my piece (the band piece that i composed two days prior to the class), his only beef was that i need to edit stuff...hmm, well duh. I just finished a new piece, everyone is very excited about it, it's the best one i've done so far...but it's really difficult in most spots.
I went on a date finally. It was after the band concert, with this oboe player who plays in the QCWE. wow, very beatiful girl, very beautiful...and i thought we had a good time, but alas, i'm wrong. We held great conversations and i felt there might have been something there, but i have no clue what she is thinking. But since she has fallen off the face of the earth, i'm really not sure what to think. But i think i did piss her off a little. I'm the kind of person that likes to be clued in onto what's going on. So i asked her if she's is interested in me, but all she did was put up an away message saying she'll be right back...and never come back. But this was when she was moving, so everynow and then she would finally reply with a i told you i won't have time this week, this is just a really bad time right now. So inevitably, i pulled a "kyle" and pushed a girl into hating me. yay kyle...
Speaking about pissing people off...jazz band. I love that band to death, but when i vision jazz band, i vision a society of jazz musicians coming together to create a rich, textured style of music, filled with improv and solis...not a band with people constantly complaining. The selections we have are a little lame too, but eh it's my opinion. Here's what we're playing:
North Shore Morning...not a bad piece, not one of my favs though...i like playing soprano, but i just don't care for the mood in the beginning.
Pressure Cooker...i like it because it's difficult, not for the big ass solo in my part, that's fine too, but i like the difficulty better.
Take the A train...standard.
Freddy the Freeloader...standard.
Fowl Play...i like it, it's fun.
ChickenScratch...not a big fan.
St. Thomas...once we get a decent copy, we'll see.
Combo...we need a bass player...other than that, we're kicking ass.
So, in short...I NEED A GIRLFRIEND AND A BASSIST!!!
please, if you could help with any of this...im me at musicpaboo, thank you.
